The way to go. :-)
The last time I fired a gun was at a rifle club's open day about 45
years ago. I am left eyed dominant and right handed so no use at that.

But of course. Every red-blooded American knows that the way you put a
fire out is by adding more gasoline. ;)

Automatic gun detectors with their own firepower? Have you not seen
Terminator? ;)

The Knifekateer. (A common character in the comic strip "Basic
Instructions" - http://basicinstructions.net/)
Then again, the superheroes in that comic, when they appear, aren't that
"super", so it seems that the Knifekateer wouldn't be able to manage
it. ;)

I've got pretty good aim, or used to - though the second time skeet
shooting, I didn't do so well. It helps to hold the shotgun tight in
your *shoulder*, not your upper arm. Doing the latter will give you a
very sore arm, and you won't be able to hit *anything* you intend to.

You should try firing an old .303 Lee-Enfield. Do it wrong and you are
in a world of pain >< . Also, don't hold your breath. Just s-q-u-e-e-z-e
Not boasting but I'm still a good shot.

I'd believe it. And yeah, breathing is important. :)
